La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants to add width and directness to his attacking unit following a season in which AS Roma's results have been affected by injuries to key creative players. Nusa, 21, is the club's primary objective and talks will be opened with Leipzig once the domestic season concludes.
Nusa joined RB Leipzig from Club Brugge in January 2024 and has contributed eight goals and nine assists across all competitions this season, establishing himself as one of the Bundesliga's most dangerous wide forwards when fit. He is under contract until 2029 and Leipzig will not entertain offers below €50m, a figure Roma would need to fund through player sales or structural financial creativity.
The market for Nusa is extremely competitive. Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, AC Milan, Napoli and Atletico Madrid have all been linked with the Norwegian international, who made his senior national team debut at 16 and has quickly become one of the most coveted young attackers in European football.
If Nusa proves beyond reach — either financially or because he chooses another destination — Roma will turn their attention to Summerville, 24.
The Holland international joined West Ham United from Leeds United in the summer of 2024 and has produced seven goals and eight assists in his debut Premier League campaign. West Ham would demand around €40m, a more accessible figure for Roma given current financial constraints.
The timing of West Ham's own situation adds a layer of complexity. Should the club be relegated on the final day of the season — a possibility given they currently sit in the drop zone — player departures would become near-inevitable, potentially softening their negotiating stance. Summerville, for his part, would understandably wish to remain in the Premier League if the option is available.
